Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: The Holiday Edition Part 2

I am sharing my second card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
HERE is my first card for the hop, a pop-up card. 
 

This one features a design from my Silhouette Cameo and Echo Park papers.

 

Check out Amy Tsuruta's blog for all the information on

how to join the fun and be eligible for some great prizes. 

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to create these cards.   

I cut the tops in heavy weight paper.  The "sleeves" are made from Echo Park paper.

 

The top is attached when it is cut on the machine.  How cool! 

Makes an easy shaped card.

 

I made a few designs.

Simple and Clean.

I will use these as gift card holders for the boys' teachers.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Enjoy your hopping,

Kelly

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: The Holiday Edition Part 1

Happy Holidays!

Feels like I fell off the planet for a few weeks,

but believe me when I say that I am still crafting.

Work has kept me from posting and visiting blogs,

but I wanted to be sure to join in the fun with the Coffee Lovers Holiday Blog Hop.

There are many great sponsors so check out the hop,

get inky and link up for a chance to win.

 

All the info, link up spots and sponsors can be found on Amy Tsuruta's blog.

 

 

Here's is my first card for the hop.  I used most of the sentiments in my Hero Art Holiday set for the front.  The words are embossed in Ranger Platinum.

 

and VIOLA!  You open it up and it is a POP-UP card.

My 7 year old BOY was in the craft room one day and showed me how to make

one by hand.  His art teacher showed him how to make it.

My pop-up features the Reverse Confetti "Be a Barista" set.

I stamped it on red foil and heat set the ink with clear embossing powder.

I used wire for the steam and a wee bit of dimension fabric paint for the "cream".

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn and Reverse Confetti

Ink: Ranger black., HA silver

Misc: wire, clear embossing powder, Ranger embossing powder

 

 

 I have another card to share featuring my Cameo.

Thanks for visiting.

Go get another cup of java and enjoy hopping,

Kelly

Poppy Sketch #17

Back today with another card for Poppy Sketch Challenge #17.

This challenge is sponsored by Starving Artists Stamps.

I am using an adorable alien stamp called Final Frontier. 

I stamped the alien in Navy ink and paired it with a sentiment by Lawn Fawn.

The shimmering silver background paper is by Cut Cardstock.

The glittery star and raspberry papers are by DCWV.

I embossed the stars in white to create a background.

The circles were made with Lawn Fawn dies.  

 

Thanks for stopping by.

I can't wait to see what you create using this great sketch and color challenge. 

-Kelly

Poppy Sketch #16: Gift Card Holder

Back today with another card for the Poppy Sketch Challenge Blog.

We are using Cut Cardstock for our cards.

Here's my interpretation. 

The base is Cut Cardstock. It has a bit of shimmer to it and it is VERY sturdy.

The patterned papers, die and stamps are all by Lawn Fawn.

I made a gift card holder by layering the LF "Stitched Journaling" die.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Birthday Tags" and "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum"

Die cut: Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Journaling" die

Patterned Papers: Lawn Fawn's "Dewey Decimal"

Cardstock: Cut Cardstock

Punch: Fiskars

 

 

Can't wait to see what you make,

Kelly

Sympathy Card

Sharing a card I gave to a friend going through a difficult time. 

The bunny's sweet face was sure to cheer anyone up.

The card features a Stacey Yacula stamp for Purple Onion called "Rosie".

 

 

I colored Rosie with Copics.

The twine is from The Twinery.

That raised panel is by Nestablilites.

The background stamp is "friendship definition" by HA.

 I am entering this into the Purple Onion Stacey Yacula card challenge.

Thanks for looking!

-Kelly

You are a Blessing

Sharing a card I made with a fall theme.

I was inspired by a sketch challenge at A Cherry on Top.

Here's the awesome sketch:

 

I used Lawn Fawn's "Harvest Season" and Stitched Journaling die.

The background is Punchinella by Neat and Tangled.

I colored the cornucopia with Copics and swiped a bit of Wink of Stella over the pumpkin.

The sentiment from the set is embossed with Ranger Platinum.  

 

 

 

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge.

I like to shop a couple different places!

Thanks for looking,

Kelly

Baby Cards featuring Lawn Fawn

Sharing a card I designed to greet new babies.

Both cards feature Lawn Fawn's "Bon Voyage" set. 

The boy version also used "Harold's ABCs". 

The planes were colored with Copics.

The girl version features pink patterned paper by Echo Park and a sentiment by Verve.

 

I am posting to share these for the Lawnscaping FB DT call.

I think I have 23 Lawn Fawn sets and more on the wishlist.

ALWAYS more on the list...

Thanks for stopping by to look at my projects.

Have a great week!

-Kelly

Poppy Sketch 15

Back on this Monday morning with another card featuring the sketch from Poppy Sketches.

We are featuring wood veneer from Gina K designs.

I am also featuring a stamp by Gina K called Beyond Baskets. 

I didn't have any houndstooth patterned paper or stamps,

so I cut the background design on my Silhouette.

I colored the wagon with Copics.

I punched flowers out of the foil and glitter paper (both by DCWV).

I covered the wood veneer with Stampendous glitter.

To set the glitter, I sprayed it with a bit of HAIRSPRAY (whaaaaat?)

Please tell me how you would have done it. I didn't want to use gloss on top...

Here's a close-up:

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you play along with this week's Poppy Sketch Challenge!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Glad to be joining the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

As an avid coffee drinker (hot or cold) I was excited to play along!

Grab a cup of java, join the fun, link up and be eligible for some great prizes!

I

 

 Made two coffee themed cards.

Both feature "Be a Barista" stamp set by Reverse Confetti.

I added Glossy Accents to the liquid on both.

On this one, I used the plain liquid stamp (top left on stamp set)

at the bottom of the cup for a shadow.  I masked the cup. 

Those are my homemade enamel dots made from melted perle beads.

Thanks for hopping along. 

Have a great day continuing your journey through the awesome cards.

CHEERS! 

-Kelly 

PS14: Halloween card

Back with  the new Poppy Sketches Challenge #14.

We are featuring Halloween stamps by Starving Artists, but you can use

whatever you want. 

I played a bit with the sketch and ended up making three cards.

As you can tell, I was a but partial towards the cute mummy!

Here are the stamps featured by the Design Team:

 

 

 

 

I did generational stamping with the tree stamp on the last card.

Thanks for stopping by!

can't wait to see what YOU create using the sketch!

SSS: Anything Goes

Sharing a card I made from my new Stampendous stamp.

On THIS card I only the butterfly.  On this one, I am featuring the whole stamp.

and then colored with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.

 

Supplies:

MME, Stampendous and Simon Says Stamp (die & sentiment)

Poppy Sketch #13

It is time for a new sketch challenge at Poppy Sketches.

This challenge is sponsored by Stampendous.

I used this butterfly stamp: 

and THIS fall tendril:

I stamped the tendril with Memento London Fog. 

I embossed the butterfly image 3 times with Ranger black Sparkle embossing powder.

I cut each one out and colored with Copics to fit the color palette as best I could.

My "pink" Copics are the RVs and a bit more purple-y.

The yellow one is raised with foam. 

The sparkle embossing powder looks AMAZING with this stamp.  

I made another card featuring the whole stamp I will post soon. 

Can't wait to see what you create with the challenge!

-Kelly

JB: Christmas "tweet"

My cyber friend Amy created a sketch for the 

Jingle Belle challenge and I wanted to play along.  

I flipped Amy's sketch to put the sentiment up and the main image low, but then the card took its own direction.  The little birdie was getting lost on the black paper so I used the stitched journaling die to give it a place and just kept going.... 

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn "Chit Chat" stamps and dies, "Stitched Journaling" die, papers

Hero Arts: sentiment

Stampendous: Frontage stuff (first time using it)

Thanks for stopping by,

Kelly

CTS91: Baby Cards w/ Echo Park

Needed to make a bunch of baby cards for church. 

I saw the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge and used it to jump start the process.

 The patterned papers and cardstock stickers are all by Echo Park.

Some cards have Stickles, Glossy Accents, gems and/or homemade enamel dots.  
and LOTS and LOTS of dimensional foam!!

 

 Here are some others I made while I had the papers out:

Thanks for visiting,

Poppy Sketch #12: gift bag

Back again with the latest challenge from Poppy Sketches.  

This challenge was sponsored by  iralamijashop which features handmade digital images. 

As I looked at the sketch my eye was drawn toward the top of the sketch and

I visualized a fold.  So, I decided to decorate a plain bag.  Got it all girlie 

to use as a gift bag down the road.
I used the sponsor's digital image and created a tag. 

 The rectangular shape is represented in the back die cut.

The line is shown in washi tape.

 

The lighter flowers were embossed in white and then I painted them with a barn door distress ink/water/perfect pearl mixture.  

The top flower was colored with Copics for more pop.

Supplies:

Dies: Lawn Fawn's "Tag, You're It", "Scallop Circles"and "Stitched Journaling Card"

Stamps: Hero Arts

Misc: wood veneer, pearls, sequins, rhinestones 

Can't wait to see how you were inspired by the sketch!
